Title: Another view of Mt. Whitney
Post by: tom w on February 20, 2012, 05:43:19 pm

Another image from my trip to Lone Pine. Made with a 125mm lens on an APS-C sensor. The older granite foreground rocks are a few hundred yards away whereas the peak of Mt. Whitney is many miles away. This was a chance find after wandering up a dirt road until I came to a Do Not Enter sign.

Was this off of Horseshoe Meadows Road or Olivas Ranch Road?  The angle seems right

I think I was driving south on Tuttle Creek Road and came across a dirt road named Indian Cemetery. Took a left at a fork and scrambled up the scree at the dead end to find this view.

Does the peak of Mt.Whitney look many miles away in the photo?

Nope.

Yes, Isaac, I think there is a problem.

Ah, OK, that makes sense now.  I've thought about taking the Jeep up that road for some time now, and now I think I'll do it.
